What happens when you let your desire and darkest secrets run wild? Detective Morris must investigate and expose an interactive playground world where unforgivable sexual fantasies are enjoyed by men who feel they can’t live without them. Jennifer Haley’s unsettling play tackles both the seductive pull of the morally ambiguous virtual world and the science fiction future of intimacy. It will have you squirming in your seats.

"The play will seduce you, then it will mess with your mind, and then it will make you think about the relationship between technology and morality and mental health and justice and crimes in ways that will require more than one drink, or one toke, or one pot lozenge, or one strong cup of tea with your buds once the show is done." -Rich Smith, The Stranger
